At the tender age of a teenager, Konsta Punkka transformed his passion into a thriving career behind the lens. Hailing from Finland, he found his muse in the enchanting wildlife that graced his homeland, even forming bonds with families of foxes. While his photographic pursuits often lead him far from home, the allure of northern Europe and its fauna remains a constant inspiration.
This is evident in his evocative captures of creatures settling into the winter chill. From majestic polar bears to elusive arctic foxes, Punkka braves subzero temperatures to immortalize moments through his camera.
In his quest for snowy subjects, Punkka faces bone-chilling temperatures plummeting as low as -40°F. He meticulously readies himself and his gear for the frigid conditions, knowing that preparation is key to capturing nature’s raw beauty.
Among his most formidable challenges are encounters with arctic foxes, deemed by Punkka as among the most elusive winter creatures to photograph. Yet, undeterred by the harsh elements, he perseveres, driven by an unwavering passion to seize the perfect shot amidst the wintry wilderness.
